About Bachelor of Arts - Public Policy and Governance
In the Bachelor of Arts - Public policy and Governance program, students will study the world of public affairs and leadership. This new program involves introducing them to a broad field that integrates many different disciplines to answer the key questions: how do people solve the common problems they have as a society, and how do they organize themselves to provide those solutions. This involves analysis of government and other public institutions, their processes for tacking policy problems, and how to analytically approach the design, implementation and assessment of public policy.
Students will study within beautiful Mulroney Hall, a stunning, new place of teaching and learning excellence located in the heart of the St. Francis Xavier University campus. Mulroney Hall features state-of-the-art classrooms, the latest technologies, and lots of engaging, inviting spaces to do homework or catch up with friends. It’s a perfect venue to learn, be challenged, and achieve new heights.
Students will have opportunities for hands-on learning and research within the Brian Mulroney Institute of Government. They won’t just discuss issues, but actually engage with them. In some case, students will even have the opportunity to put what they have learned to work on real-life projects.
Public Policy and Governance students can pursue careers in government at all levels including international agencies, law, journalism, non-governmental organizations, teaching, policy research, and political parties.
